	Machine Guns - Maschinengewehre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Machine guns derive their limited armor-penetrating capability both from the single bullet's penetration ability and from the effect the repeated hits of bullets in quick succession - as is the case with a machine gun - onto the same spot have on thin steel plates.
		Development of the german machine guns went towards a general purpose machine gun, therewith abandoning the differentiation hitherto between light machine guns carried around by the assaulting infantry and heavy machine guns that were intended as stationary support weapons.
		With the occupation of czechoslovakia in 1939 the germans captured 31,204 machine guns of the types ZB 1926 and ZB 1930, mostly the latter.

	The WWII Fighter Gun Debate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Browning gun survived in the gun turrets of British bombers, but was increasingly ineffective: At the end of the war only incendiary ammunition was used, because the AP round was not able to penetrate the armour of modern fighters.
		The gun was later enlarged to 20mm calibre as the MG 151/20, and this replaced the original 15mm version in fighter applications.
		Examples of the second approach are the MG FF and MG 17 weapons of the Bf 109E, the two.50 and four.303 Brownings of the early P-51, or the two 20mm cannon and two 7.7mm guns in the A6M2.

	MG 15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The MG 15 was a 7.92 mm machine gun developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig before World War II as a derivative of the company's MG 30 infantry weapon.
		Starting in the 1940's, the MG 15 was replaced by the Mauser 7.92 mm MG 81, MG 81Z (twin-MG 81), MG 131, 13 mm machine guns or MG 151/20 20 mm cannons.
		The MG 15 was used in the Japanese aircraft as the Type 98 flexible-mounted machine gun.

		A single Vickers 0.303 inch machine gun was mounted in the front left side of the fuselage and synchronised for firing through the propeller, a Lewis 0.303 inch machine gun was mounted in the rear cockpit, firing backwards.
		It was armed with four 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns and two 20 mm MG FF cannons in the nose and one 7.92 mm MG 15 machine gun in the rear cockpit.
		She was armed with two 20 mm MG 151/20 fixed forward-firing cannons in the nose, two 7.92 mm MG 17 fixed forward-firing machine guns in the nose, and two 13 mm MG 131 trainable lateral-firing machine guns in two remotely controlled power-operated FDL 131 barbettes on the sides of the fuselage.

	CANNON OR MACHINE GUN
		Although the eight guns between them fired no fewer than 160 rounds per second (rps), they were initially adjusted to concentrate their fire at the long range of 365 m which led to the bullet strikes being spread across the target at shorter ranges.
		The guns were more than twice as heavy as the 7.92 mm MG 17 and fired only half as fast, at about 9 rps.
		The MG 131 was a 13 mm HMG intended to replace the RCMGs in both fixed and movable mountings, and therefore kept as small and light as possible, making it the least powerful HMG to see service.

		The gun has a leaf rear sight graduated from 200 to 2,000 meters (219 to 2,190 yards), an AA ring sight, and an optical sight for use with the tripod mount.
		When used on the ground, the gun is hand cocked and mechanically fired, instead of utilizing the electrical cocking and firing mechanism provided for its use in aircraft.
		It often is supposed that these two are the same gun fitted with interchangeable barrels; this is not the case, although the guns are very similar in construction.

		The plane's armament consisted of Rheinmetall-Borsig MG-17 7.9 mm machine guns and 13 mm MG 131 machine guns mounted in the wings near the fuselage.
		In place of wing mounted MG 17 machine guns, the Mauser MG 151/20 E 20 mm canons were used because of delivery of the new synchronizers.

	Descriptions of various gun court cases (u-z)
		If the gun was described as a Winchester shotgun, and the characterization as a firearm was not rebutted by the defendant in his case, then the jury could conclude that the item fell within the statute, whether it in fact worked or not, and regardless of whether the defendant knew it worked or didn't work.
		In this case the 9th circuit decides that possessing two guns, a sawed off shotgun and a pistol permits the defendant to be convicted of both possessing a sawed off shotgun, and possessing a firearm while committing a crime of violence, under the setencing enhancement at issue in Harris, Bailey and Smith.
		ATF claimed the gun was readily restorable to a machine gun, and tried to prove that by welding the selector lockout to the lug on a regular M-14, then restoring that gun to take a selector.

	Axis History Factbook: Focke-Wulf FW-190
		The Focke-Wulf design team was aware that the FW-190's armament was inadequate, having settled on the four machine guns due to temporary difficulties in obtaining heavier armament, and in fact the A-1 was basically regarded as an operational evaluation type that was not entirely fit for real combat.
		Replacement of the wing root machine guns with the cannon required fit of a shallow blister on the top of the wing near the fuselage.
		These machines were given a rear fuselage extension to compensate for the lengthened nose, which had been stretched to fit the Jumo 213 engine, and were armed with twin MG-17 machine guns in the cowling and an MG-151/20 cannon in each wing root.

	Airborne Guns Armament of World War II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		At the start of the war most aircraft mounted guns were rapid firing machine guns of 30 caliber (7.62-mm) or so.
		The United States relied heavily on the Browning 50 caliber (12.7-mm) machine gun, both for offensive and defensive gun installations while the British utilized 20-mm cannon on most fighters and fighter-bombers, fitting their bombers with.303 caliber (7.7-mm) machine guns.
		The BK-5 was an adaptation of a tank gun and was intended primarily for use against Allied heavy bombers.

		The first 109s were armed with three light 7.9mm machine guns: one mounted between the cylinder banks of the engine, with two in the upper decking of the cowl.
		With a pair of 13mm cowl machine guns replacing the original 7.9mm weapons, plus the additional weight of the engine, special equipment, armor plate and more ammunition, the 109 had increased by 2,000 lbs.
		Soon afterwards, the MG 151 was overbored and replaced by the MG 151/20.

		Even the larger caliber machine guns (13 mm is roughly the same size as.50 caliber, but the.50 caliber round was generally 40 percent heavier) required many hits to achieve a kill, unless the pilot was killed.
		Six different guns were used: two machine gun types and four cannon types.
		Furthermore, with gun convergence usually set between 150 and 200 yards, your alignment on the target may even work against you at 75 yards.

	The Focke-Wulf FW-190
		The canopy proved very difficult to jettison in an emergency at high speeds, and so an ejection mechanism was designed to pop the canopy up into the airstream, where it would be pulled off by the draft.
		The Focke-Wulf design team was aware that the FW-190's armament was inadequate, having settled on the four machine guns due to temporary difficulties in obtaining heavier armament -- and in fact the A-1 was basically regarded as an operational evaluation type that was not entirely fit for real combat.

	Italeri 1/72 Macchi MC 202 Folgore
		Some MC 202's had a rifle-calibre machine gun in each wing to supplement the fuselage armament, but there is no provision for that in this kit.
		For "to fill" this gap, to the serie VII forward the airframes leaving the lines, at Macchi Varese production plants, were provided with the provision-room for a machine gun in each wing, but their too-small calibre caused them to be rarely mounted.
		So, the RA pilots preferred the lightness of their Macchis (it is said the same for the RA BF.10G's wing cannons months later!) and the related holes in the wings were faired over with a steel plate in the process.
